"The girls have been moving in the right direction, despite the obvious training challenges this winter," Dilworth said.

"The girls on the team are pushing each other to be better and we are bringing home more medals this year. They have been consistently performing well when they need to and I am looking forward to seeing what they can do in sectionals."
